Chapter 1: The Break Up

Juvia Lockser sighed contently as she got out of bed. She hummed as she walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a shower. She was so happy right now and no one could ruin it. 'Today is Juvia and Gray-sama one year anniversary! Juvia is finally going to ask Gray-sama if she can move in with him. Juvia is so excited!' she thought as she stepped into the warm water. Juvia and Gray had been dating since August of last year. They met at a tiny cafe that was a block from Juvia's apartment. Juvia instantly fell in love. Gray was handsome, confident, charming and arrogant when he wanted to be. He was everything that Juvia was not. Juvia was gloomy, timid, she had low self-esteem and she lacked confidence. But that all changed when she met Gray. She was more outgoing and cheerful now. And she had become friends with his friends. Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Mirajane and a few others. They were all very nice and accepting to her. Natsu was a bit loud and somewhat dense, but he was still very nice to her. Lucy was very friendly, but her clothes were very revealing. Mirajane was lovely and Erza, well that women scared Juvia. She was so strong and had such confidence that even though Juvia was terrified of her, she also admired her. In fact, all of Gray's female friends seemed to radiate confidence. It also didn't help that they were so beautiful. She often wondered at times if Gray was going to dump her for one of them. Of course she would understand, she was clingy and over affectionate. But Gray would always say that they were just really close friends. And that's why she loved about him. Even though he was surrounded by women that were 10 times more beautiful that her, he still wanted her. And that was why she had so much devotion for him. ' Gray-sama is the love of Juvia's life and we are going to get married and have kids and grow old together and-' Juvia snapped out of her fantasies. The first step was moving in together. Then all of that other stuff could happen later. Juvia quickly finished her shower and went to her closet to look for some clothes. She frowned. She was going to need some new clothes for today. And a make-over. She could ask Lucy for that. So she threw on some black leggings and a baby blue long sleeved shirt and some black converse sneakers. She put on some lip gloss and mascara and the pearl necklace that Gray had bought for her birthday. As she was eating her breakfast, her phone rang.

''Yo Juvia, what's up?''

''Hi Gajeel-kun! Um, Juvia was just about to go to Lucy-san's house to get a make-over and to buy some new clothes.''

''Why would you want to do that?''

''Gajeel-kun, don't you know? Today is Juvia's one year anniversary with Gray-sama. She has to look perfect for today.'' Juvia heard Gajeel scoff. Gajeel had never liked the idea of Juvia dating Gray. Not since what happened with Bora. He thinks that Gray will hurt her like he did. She keeps telling him that Gray loved her and wouldn't do anything to hurt her. He is starting to come around though.

'' I still don't know why you're dating that fool. You could do way better than some guy who is named after a color.''

''Gajeel-kun stop it. Juvia loves Gray-sama and Gray-sama loves Juvia. Gray-sama is nothing like Bora. You have to let this go. Please, just do it for Juvia's sake. He is going to be Juvia's future husband, you know.''

''Ugh, don't say that, it makes me sick. And if it really means that much to you then I'll try to be nicer to Fullbuster. But if he hurts you, I'll personally be the one to kick his ass.'' Juvia sighed.

''Okay Gajeel-kun. Anyways, how's Levy-san?''

''Oh she's fine. But she keeps complaining that I'm too rude to people and that I should try to be nicer. That women drives me insane sometimes. Anyways I'll call you back later alright. I have some other things that I need to do.''

''Alright. Bye Gajeel-kun. Say hello to Levy-san for me.''

''Yeah whatever.'' He hung up. Juvia couldn't stop herself from smiling. She knows that is Gajeel's way of saying yes. She knew him so well by now. After all, he was her best friend. He stuck by her through all the ups and downs in her life and she did the same for him. Some wondered how they were even friends. He was rude, she was polite. He was big and she was somewhat small. He only looked for the bad in people, while she looked for the good. They were complete opposites, but that's what makes them work. No one understood her better that him. She finished her breakfast and left the apartment. As she stepped into her blue SUV, she dialed Lucy's number.

''Hello?''

''Hi Lucy-san, it's Juvia.''

'' Oh, hi Juvia. Congrats on the one year anniversary. I'm so happy for you guys.''

'' Thank you. But um, the reason that Juvia called is because she needs a favor.''

'' No problem. I would be happy to help you.''

'' Thank you so much Lucy-san. Juvia needs some new clothes and a make-over for her date with Gray-sama. Could you help her with that?''

''Of course. I am going to make you look hot Juvia. So when are you coming over?''

'' Juvia will be there by twelve. She has some other things to do first.''

''Okay, see you then. Bye Juvia.''

''Bye Lucy-san.'' Juvia hung up the phone and started the engine. She had to buy some groceries because she was almost out of food. It was already 11:00 so she had one hour to get to Lucy's house. So she rushed to buy everything that she would need and hurried to get to Lucy's. When she arrived at Lucy's condo, she knocked on the door and waited patiently. Somewhere from inside the house she heard Lucy shout,

''Natsu, could you get the door? I'll be out in a minute.'' Juvia heard footsteps and the door was swung wide open with Natsu standing on the other side. He grinned at her.

''Hey Juvia! Lucy is gonna be right out.''

''Thank you, Natsu-san.'' Natsu moved out of the way to let her in. Juvia walked in and looked around. Lucy's condo was full of pictures. Most of them were pictures of her and Natsu. There were also some pictures of their friends, Natsu's cat, Happy, and their parents. Lucy also had the best furniture. Her sofa was so warm and comfy. Juvia saw Lucy step out of her bedroom.

''Hi Juvia. Just give me one moment.'' Lucy was wearing a pink tank top with white shorts. She had on a pair of pink high heels. Her blond hair was in a high ponytail with two long strands in the front.

''Okay Juvia, I'm ready. We can go now.''

''Where are you guys going anyway?'' Natsu asked. Lucy gave him a peck on the cheek.

''Shopping honey. You wouldn't be interested.'' Natsu shrugged.

''You're right Luce. Well I can just play with Happy. Right buddy?'' Somewhere inside the condo, the cat meowed.

''C'mon Juvia, lets go.'' The two females walked to Juvia's car and got in.

''This is going to be so much fun.'' Lucy said excitedly. Juvia smiled and they drove to the nearest clothing store.

Gray Fullbuster was sitting in front of his t.v completely naked, eating cereal. He had already made dinner reservations for his date with Juvia. He would be coming by her apartment at 6:30 to pick her up. Suddenly there was a knocking on his door. Gray growled and threw on his pajama pants. He went to the door and answered it.

''What do you want Loke?'' Gray asked as he stared at the man.

''Nice to see you too, Gray. Now can I please come in?'' Gray opened the door wider and moved aside to let Loke in. Loke walked in and sat himself down on Gray's couch. He noticed that Gray's clothes were scattered all over the place.

''And here I thought that you would take better care of your home Gray.''

''Juvia's the neat freak, not me. And besides, some of these clothes are hers. Now what do you want?'' Gray sat down on the couch and continued eating.

''I just wanted to say hello. I haven't seen you in a while Gray. Oh and congrats on the anniversary dude.''

''Thanks.'' Gray muttered. Loke looked around and saw several photos of Gray and Juvia.

''So, you and Juvia are getting pretty serious, huh?'' Loke had only met her once, but she seemed nice enough. Although the way she talks in third person was kind of weird.

''Yeah, you could say that. I think she wants to move in with me.''

''What makes you say that?'' Loke asked.

''Well sometimes she leaves her clothes here. And she would stay over for a few days. I think that she is going to ask me tonight on our date. If she does, I don't know what I'm going to say.'' Gray sighed. He wasn't sure if he was ready for her to move in.

''So you don't want her to move in?'' Gray shook his head.

'' No, that's not it. But if I tell her no, well I just don't want to hurt her.''

''Then don't say no. You know, sometimes I get jealous of you guys.'' Gray looked at Loke, surprised.

''Why would you be jealous of us? You're the one that gets all the girls.'' Gray said. Loke sighed.

''That's the point man. You all have steady relationships. You, Natsu, Erza. I guess that I'm just tired of being in relationships that have no meaning. I want something real, you know? These flings are getting boring. I don't know, maybe I'm not the relationship type of person.'' Gray patted Loke on the shoulder. He knew where Loke was coming from. He wasted two years of his life getting drunk and being in pointless relationships. In his defence, he was in a bad place at the time. But that all changed when he met Juvia. She changed him.

''Hey, don't say that. If you want something real, then you have to look for it. You're going after the wrong girls. If you want someone that will make you happy, stop going to bars and getting drunk. You're not going to find someone to love from one night stands.'' Loke smiled.

''Thanks man. Well I gotta go. I will definately take your advice. See you around, Gray.'' Loke stood up and left. After Loke left, Gray quickly took off his pajama bottoms. It's not that he doesn't like clothes, he just didn't like wearing them in his own home. Tonight was going to be big and he wanted to relax as much as possible.

Juvia had tried on several dresses, but she didn't feel right in any of them. Lucy had forced her to try on this black strapless dress that had some parts cut out and it had a very large plunge that showed off most of her cleavage. Not only that, but the dress was very short. None of these dresses felt right on her and they did not fit her personality. Lucy had told her that if she wanted to surprise Gray then she would have to take the risk and step outside her comfort zone. But Juvia wasn't a very daring person and she knew that Gray wouldn't want her to do something that made her uncomfortable. Lucy came back with a navy blue sequin dress. The dress was strapless and had a gray diamond in the middle. The plunge wasn't as large as the black dress and the dress wasn't too long or too short. It was perfect. Lucy saw how Juvia's eyes sparkled and she smiled. She shoved the dress into Juvia's chest and usered her into the fitting room. When Juvia came out, Lucy was, needless to say, stunned. It was as if this dress was made for Juvia. It was just the right length and it showed off just the right amount of cleavage. Also, the dress showed off Juvia's curves very well. Gray would definately be surprised.

''Juvia you look amazing! You have to buy this dress. It's perfect for you!''

''Thank you Lucy-san. And Juvia will but this dress.'' Lucy nodded.

''Okay, now that we found the right dress, we have to find the right shoes.'' Juvia quickly changed out of the dress and she followed Lucy to the shoe section. Searching for the right shoes didn't take as long as finding the right dress. Juvia picked out a black strappy high heeled shoe. Juvia also bought a blue clutch and some silver earrings. By the time they reached Juvia's apartment, she had two hours to get ready for her date. Juvia took a quick shower and let Lucy do her hair and makeup. Lucy had curled Juvia's hair and let it fall back in waves. For Juvia's makeup, Lucy put on glittery blue eye shadow, mascara and some lip gloss.

''Do you want Juvia to bring you back to your condo?'' Lucy shook her head.

''I called Natsu while you were in the shower. He should be here any minute.'' Suddenly they heard a knocking on the door. Lucy went to pick up her stuff and headed to the door. Before she left, she gave Juvia a wink.

''Have fun on your date.'' Lucy left and Juvia sat on her couch and waited for when Gray would pick her up.

xXxXxXxXXxXxXxXxXxXxXXxXxX

Juvia was sitting on her couch, twiddling her thumbs. Gray would be here any minute. She hoped that she looked nice, otherwise all this time shopping and doing makeup would be a waste. There was a knock on her door. Juvia raced to the door and answered it. Gray was standing on the other side. He looked her up and down and smiled.

''You look amazing Juvia.'' Juvia blused.

''Thank you Gray-sama.'' Gray took Juvia's hand.

''Let's go. I spent a lot of money on this dinner reservation and I don't want to be late.'' Juvia laughed and followed Gray to his car. It was a black Mercedes Benz. Gray's attire was rather simple. He was wearing a white button up shirt and black slacks. He also had on black dress shoes and he was wearing his cross necklace. They got in his car and drove to the restaurant. It was a very fancy restaurant. When they got there, Gray took Juvia's hand and lead her inside. They took a seat at their reserved table and looked at the menu that was given to them.

''Wow. Gray-sama, you really outdid yourself.'' Juvia said in awe as she looked around.

''Thanks. I had to go over the top. You wouldn't want to go the movies now would you?''

''Juvia doesn't care where she goes. As long as it is with Gray-sama. Juvia would not mind going to the movies if it meant going with Gray-sama.'' Gray blushed and looked away.

''Well you could have told me that. Now I wasted all this money for nothing.'' Juvia smiled. Gray was so funny. Another reason why she loved him.

''So what are you getting?'' Gray asked.

''Oh, Juvia will have the salad. What about you?''

''Oh, I'm going all out. I'm getting the spagetti with the garlic bread on the side. And I'm having the chocolate lava cake for dessert.'' The waiter came by and took their orders. As they ate, they talked about pointless things. Gray complained about Natsu being and idiot and talked about work. Gray owned his own ice sculpting business and it was doing pretty well. Juvia worked as a vet. She loved animals, especially dogs. She always wanted one, but they weren't allowed in her apartment building. Pretty soon they had finished their dinner and were heading to Gray's apartment. Juvia was looking out the window, thinking of ways to bring up the issue of moving in. 'How should Juvia ask? Should she be straightforward? Or should she be sublte?' Juvia glanced at Gray. ' Knowing Gray-sama, Juvia should be straightforward. She has been droppimg subtle hints for weeks. It's better to just ask.' Pretty soon they were at Gray's apartment. As soon as they were in, Gray sat down on the couch. Juvia continued to stand and Gray noticed this.

''What's wrong? Don't you want to sit down? Walking around in those shoes must be killer on your feet.'' Juvia shook her head.

''No um, Juvia has something that she wants to ask you.''

''Okay, well what is it?'' Juvia looked Gray in the eye.

''Can Juvia move in? We have been dating for a year. Don't you think it's time?'' Gray sighed. He knew this was coming. He doesn't think that he's ready. But how can he explain it to Juvia without hurting her feelings?

''Look, Juvia. I'm sorry, but I don't think that I want you to move in just yet.'' Juvia looked at Gray with a hurt expression on her face.

''But why?'' she asked.

'' Look, it's not that I don't want you to move in, it's just that I don't think that I'm ready for that.''

''Then when will you be ready Gray-sama?'' Juvia asked. Gray stood up and walked over to her.

''Juvia, you know that this is the longest relationship that I ever had. Before this, I would have random flings with random girls and on rare occasions, I would have relationships that would last about two months. What I am trying to say is that I'm not ready for this. We will be with each other all the time. If you were will me all the time like that, wouldn't that make you go insane?'' Juvia shook her head.

''No, it wouldn't make Juvia go insane. Juvia loves Gray-sama. Everyday Juvia gets to spend with you is a blessing. If Juvia could be with you all the time, then she would be very happy.'' Gray gave a frustrated sigh.

''Why are you pushing this? It's not that big of a deal.'' Juvia stared at him. She couldn't believe what Gray had just said.

''Yes, moving in together is a very big deal. How can you not see that? Juvia loves you, don't you love her?'' Gray glared at her. He was getting annoyed now.

''Don't you do that Juvia. You know that I love you. So don't try to guilt trip me to get you to move in because it's not going to work.'' Now it was Juvia's turn to glare.

''Juvia was not guilt tripping you. But is there another reason that you don't want Juvia to move in. Is Juvia too clingy for you? Or is she too ugly? Which one is it Gray-sama?'' Gray let out an exasperated sigh.

''Juvia you're not ugly. If you were ugly then I wouldn't be dating you.''

'' So is it because she's too clingy. Is that why you don't want Juvia to move in?'' Gray finally lost his patience.

''Yes! You are too clingy Juvia. Even now, you're over reacting to the situation. And you can be very annoying sometimes. With your Gray-sama this and your Gray-sama that. If we move in together it will only get worse. I don't think that I could deal with that.''

'' You have been dealing with it for the past year, Gray! What, has it become too much for you? Would you rather be with someone else?'' Juvia shouted. Gray had been trying not to lose his temper, but now he was offically angry. She just had to push this, didn't she?

''Damn it Juvia! No! If I wanted someone else then I would have dumped you by now! But now since you brought it up, I might as well tell you the truth. Sometimes I do want to be with someone else. Someone who could give me space when I asked for it. Someone who didn't make stuff toys of me. Someone that knew when I wasn't ready to do something and wouldn't force me to do it. You know what Juvia? Maybe I should have broken up with you. That way, I could find somebody else. Or maybe I could just have one night stands. Because I need a break. I need a break from all your craziness.'' Gray finally looked at her. The look on her face, however, made him look away again. There was so much hurt in her eyes. It made Gray's heart break a little.

''Is that what you really think? Should we break up?'' Juvia whispered. Her head was hung low and her eyes burned with unshed tears. She refused to cry in front of him. No, she woud cry when she was alone in her apartment, like she had done so many times before.

'' I'm not saying that Juvia. I just think that we should take a break from each other.'' Gray said.

''But isn't taking a break the same thing as breaking up?'' Juvia asked. Gray sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He grabbed Juvia's hand, but she pulled it away from his grasp.

''I don't know Juvia. We just need some time of from each other. It won't be permanent, at least I hope so.'' Gray whispered the last part. He didn't want to break up with Juvia. She was the most important person in his life now. Juvia finally looked up and he could see her unshed tears.

''Juvia understands what Gray-sama is saying. Maybe this break will do us some good. Goodbye Gray-sama.''

''Wait. At least let me drop you off at your place.'' Gray said. Juvia shook her head.

''No, Juvia will take a taxi.'' With that being said, Juvia turned around and walked out of Gray's apartment. Gray sighed again and walked to his bedroom. ' Why did we have to fight tonight?' he thought.

xXxXxXxXXxXxXXxxXxXxXxXxX

Juvia didn't cry until she was in her bedroom. She fell onto her bed and sobbed. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the Gray plushie that she had made herself. She glared at the plushie.

''Why? Why did Gray-sama have to do this? Why did Gray-sama have to break Juvia's heart?'' She grabbed the stuff doll and threw it against her door. Then she saw all of the paintings she had made of Gray. She got up and threw them to the floor, one by one. While she was doing that, a picture from her nightstand fell. She picked it up gingerly. It was a picture of her and Gray. It was when they had first started dating. Juvia had forced Gray to take her to the park. She had a stranger take a picture of them by the lake. She was clutching Gray's arm and she was smiling brightly. Gray, on the other hand, scowled and he was looking off to the side with a blush on his face. But there was a look of amusement in his eyes and Juvia knew that he wasn't angry at all. Juvia took the picture out of the broken frame and sat on the bed. She brought her knees to her chest as she stared at the picture. Silent tears were falling down her cheeks. ' Juvia never wanted this. All Juvia wanted was to move in with her Gray-sama. She doesn't want a break from Gray-sama. Juvia wants Gray-sama to hold her in his arms and tell her that he loves her. But instead of that Juvia is alone in her apartment, holding on to an old photo.'

''Why did Gray-sama break Juvia's heart?'' she whispered. Eventually she managed to fall asleep, that picture still in her hands.
